Have you done a search here? There are many articles on this exact issue. With a 2021 you are most likely out of warranty and on your own.

Also, if you want to get a response you need to put the "@" sign in front of the name you are trying to connect with, as you type options will appear. In your case, @RamCares

No, but went to local Ram Dealership and no luck, no recall, no warranty and will cost $2,200 to fix. Inquired about availability of the dash and is in very high demand and has an 18 month backorder. If that isn't a dead giveaway to Chrysler Corp that there is a clear issue, what is?

Why are so many high end ($65k+) 2019+ limited truck dash pads bubbling, and why isn't Ram taking care of customers with this defect?
It's ridiculous to keep seeing this and all the rear window/rear 3rd brake light leaks showing up across multiple user forums.

The rear brake light has been an issue for more than a decade. Really sad when all was needed to prevent it , was a thicker gasket. TOTALLY PATHETIC work from the engineers, and the whole company.
I get that they are dealers , but is there not any sharing of defects , bad designs , problems that every dealer experiences ?

I hate to have to go backwards and buy an older vehicle. However ,I have no desire to spend 75k to 100 and above ,then start having issues.
Unfortunately it seems as if most manufacturers suffer from similar problems .
I believe that the desire for corporate profits at whatever the cost , and the dumbing down of society in general has helped to create this poop storm.

I recently purchased a 2021 limited with leather dash Hemi/Etorque. I have researched most of the reported problems in the forums so far. The Etorque MGU sounds like requires bearings so doable as long as not major damage and the 48v battery well if it goes you have to get a new battery. The leaking window which I don't think I have, and then the dash delamination. In looking closely at my dash I noticed that the corner of the instrument panel dash was pulling up. So, I decided to try out the glue and needles and am waiting on it to dry now. Preliminary seems like it has worked fairly well. The delamination was about the whole semi-circle of leather over the dash cluster but it hadn't seperated and crinkled up bad yet.
